“New Moon Wolf”

Jay has taken his father, Leander, camping in the Arizona desert wilderness, despite the fact that his father is in one of his “non-responsive” states — the result of too many moon phasings and their effect on his mind. Soon after night falls, a wolf pads into their campsite. And Leander insists that the animal is a were. Jay isn’t convinced, but when poachers show up, armed to the teeth, and intent on killing the wolf, he knows that he can’t simply allow the animal to be shot.
